Question

Tommy and 6 of his friends brought 12 1/4 pounds of Jolly Ranchers $1.20 a pound. If the cost of the Jolly Ranchers is divided evenly among Tommy and his 6 friends, how much will each person pay? (Help me please ;-;)

Answer 1

$2.10

Explanation:

To find the total cost, multiply.

12.25*1.20 = 14.7

Tommy and 6 of his friends means 7 people.

Cost per person will be:

14.7/7 = 2.1
